In 1975, taking advantage of buoyant housing demand as people and industries flocked to urban areas, we entered the Custom-Built Detached Housing Business to supply high-quality wooden homes, by utilizing the Group’s wealth of wood-related knowledge and networks. Since then, we have continued to provide high-quality housing through our high technological capabilities and excellent design proposal capabilities, and have grown this into our main business.

In the apartment business, we provide apartments with an appeal that only it can offer by fully utilizing its expertise in wood, including its original construction methods that leverage its technological capabilities and specifications from the viewpoint of residents. For residential property development, our spec homes operations construct quality detached houses based on the technology and knowledge accumulated in our businesses, such as the Custom-Built Detached Housing Business and the Landscaping Business. Features of these homes are that they respect regional histories, environments, and cultures, and that they are built as townscapes in harmony with nature. In addition to the design codes of buildings that consider all aspects of housing, from location selection through to space designs, our aim is to create townscapes with a sense of unity between the homes and nature.

As Japan’s housing stock has risen to around 62 million homes while the number of households is roughly 54 million, the Japanese government is promoting policies to make use of established housing and ensure the “formation of housing stock of good quality.” We are developing home renovation technologies to improve disaster prevention and mitigation performance, such as by enhancing seismic-reinforcement construction methods.
